Karl Rove super PAC pushes another fake Obamacare horror story in Colorado ad
A commercial produced by Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS super PAC criticizing the Affordable Care Act is the latest to use a horror story that’s been debunked, KDVR-TV reported.
In the ad, a woman identified as “Richelle” describes herself as part of a “single income family” that could not afford healthcare under the law, commonly known as Obamacare, when her husband decided to form his own business. Text flashing on the screen says, “Richelle had to go back to work.”
“Sen. Mark Udall’s (D-CO) vote for Obamacare has hurt families in Colorado for small business owners that are trying to make it and support their family,” she says in the ad. “Mark Udall should repeal Obamacare.”
The ad closes with a message urging viewers to contact Udall and ask him to support a bill that would repeal the law.
In reality, however, Richelle McKim’s LinkedIn profile revealed that she has been steadily employed since July 2008, when she worked from home for her husband’s company. Since leaving that position in May 2010, she has also worked for Wattenberg Anadarko Petroleum and her current employer, Noble Energy. Between them, both companies have donated $93,550 in campaign contributions for state Rep. Cory Gardner (R), who is running to unseat Udall.
